General Information
The TextDBMS listserv is an e-mail forum and information exchange for legislators and legislative staff who are interested in discussions about TextDBMS software. This listserv provides a forum for questions, comments, and peer support for legislatures still using TextDBMS.

To Subscribe
To subscribe to the TextDBMS Listserv, send an e-mail message to pam.greenberg@ncsl.org and identify yourself, your legislative affiliation and your phone number, requesting a subscription to TextDBMS-L.

You will receive an e-mail message confirming your subscription and describing how to post messages and unsubscribe (e.g., subscribers should unsubscribe if using an e-mail autoresponder while on vacation.)

Posting Messages
To post a message to the TextDBMS Listserv, send an e-mail message to TextDBMS-L@NCSL.ORG with your questions or comments (describe the message briefly in the subject field). Please include your name and contact information at the bottom of every message so others can contact you individually if they choose. Your message will be sent to all subscribers on the list.

Remember that replies to messages posted on the TextDBMS listserv will also be sent (reflected) to all other subscribers. To reply privately to the person who posted a message, send a new message to the sender's e-mail address rather than replying to the listserv message at TextDBMS-l@ncsl.org.
